I almost always bring a couple of beers to the stand (2-3). Occasionally I will bring several. 12+\- but when I do bring several it's beer, binoculars, camera, and a good book. No gun at all.
I find that most people who have an issue with this are those who drink 2-3 or more drinks and do stupid things. The fact that some have no self control should not be a reason for them to condem those who do.
I know people who drink twice a year maybe and wind up in jail for DWI or in a fight. Those same people think I'm an idiot for drinking. Although I've never had a DWI, nor do I drink and drive, nor have I been in a fight while drinking. Ever.
If your an idiot then your an idiot. It's not my fault.

For those of you young men and women that read these post to learn from the more senior hunters on here. DONT LISTEN TO THESE GUYS! This has to be the absolute dumbest topic I've ever read. If you think for a second that consuming alcohol of any amount while in control of a DEADLY weapon is in any way intelligent, put your weapon on the floor, walk away from it and quit hunting!
Leave the drinking at the cabin.
Go to your designated hunting spot sober and always always always put safety first.
Most of all, while you're sitting there, thank God for creating the beauty around you and thank a soldier for the freedom to do so!

Beer is wonderful. Deer hunting is wonderful. But I just don't drink alcohol while hunting - it's not that I don't trust myself (though I don't think it's a good idea), I just don't even think about it. Too busy enjoying the outdoors. Hell sometimes I'm so excited to get to the lease I space bringing alcohol with me! But when I do and I'm done hunting I enjoy a few (k maybe a few plus some more) cocktails by the fire. same here if I am fishing a tourney I forget to eat or anything but fish. And I crack a beer when I pull into my drive coming home from work like routine. Just never crosses my mind like stated to the guy that takes one or two that should not hurt any adult but an empty 12 pack I have a big problem.

There have been some monumental drunk posts on here that would prove some of you wrong. I like apples and cap-i-TAN crunch.

Alcohol and gunpowder don't mix, period. Campfires and alcohol are a perfect combination!

Humm, let me see if I understand this. It is bad if you are in a stand by yourself and have a beer. Is it because you might shoot an illegal deer in a AR county because of poor judgement? Or because you might harm yourself? But it is alright to go to camp where there are numerous hunters all with guns within reach and get sh*t faced. Does not make a lot of sense to me, but what do I know.

Does not make a lot of sense to me, but what do I know. I have guns in my home, doesn't mean I don't drink at home. Hunting means you will at least to some extent be handling that firearm. And likely shooting it. Your guns shouldn't be at arms reach at camp, and they should probably be unloaded. The couple deer camps I've been to have had those rules in place.

This is amusing to read. We had a guy on our lease that could not hunt without drinking. He would start drinking beer about 10:00 in the morning and continue throughout the day. I helped him with his set and put him in a great spot. But with most drinkers they have to smoke as well. And they become lazy and loud. He would always complain that he was not in a good spot and he never saw any nice bucks. When observing his hunting behavior he would park his truck right next to the major game trail and I would find numerous cigarette butts around and leading up to his stand. Thank goodness he left the lease this year and I will make sure he never returns. I put a new THF member to the lease in that spot this year and went over where to park and how to approach the stand just like I did for the beer drinker. After his second sit in the stand he had a very nice mature buck on the ground. I like a cold beer with buds at lunch or around the campfire. I never have thought it to be a good idea to drink several drinks and go hunting. To each their own.

I take Gatorade and a water and a few dr peppers. The Gatorade bottle serves a greater purpose after I've been in the stand an hour or so. We've got guys on our lease that drink on location. I don't care what they do in their area. I'm Not a drinker so it doesn't cross my mind to drink in the blind.

So no drinking in the stand but at a camp fire it's ok. What if a person falls into a fire? Most hunters I know can handle the alcohol and most tend to drink where they please when they want.

I like the other hunters on my lease to drink a lot, they usually kill something that they would not have if they weren't drinking. They head home early and I get to hunt the whole ranch all by myself.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Have not drank a beer while hunting in a long time. You can make some poor decision under the influence. Seen a lot of ground shrinkage due to some Boys being a little Snookered We have a left handed Aggie on our place that will always swear it "looked" mature and the minimum 130" every year

Just my Couldn't agree more. Yessir. Self righteous people think that when somebody drinks that automatically means they are going to get drunk as a skunk and start shooting everywhere. If that's the case then it would be illegal to consume alcohol anywhere except when you are confined to your house for an extended period of time. Not a damn thing wrong with having a few beers if you are a responsible person.
